If you're willing to go off-Broadway, No Child... is incredible. It's not available on Friday because it's a UFT New Teacher's Committee buyout. But otherwise...SO worth it!!

CapnHook, seeing as though I have seen all of these including " Journey's End " I
would say without a shadow of a doubt, most of them being really entertaining
that " Moon For The Misbegotten " is powerful and totally memorable.

Enjoy - - whatever you end up seeing---NOTHING like live theatre!

I forgot all about Blackbird! Go see that! I hear it's fantastic and it stars Jeff Daniels.

Blackbird or Deuce.

Inherit the Wind is a revival of a classic play starring two great stage actors.

Journey's End is supposed to be fantastic as well.

I will join in and definitely reccommend Journey's End. What an amazing piece of theatre.

In order of importance to me:

1)Journey's End
2)Coram Boy
3)Frost/Nixon
4)Talk Radio

Talk Radio was excellent, though FrostNixon seems to be a real winner. I haven't seen it, but plan on catching it soon.
Now onto Deuce, no I didn't love it. In fact, I'm shocked it was written by Terrance McNally, but it was far better than what people have said. If you wish to see two exceptional legendary actresses in subpar material, you should see that. If you want to see exceptional performers in great material, see Talk Radio, or FrostNixon. (I don't want to have an opinion on it yet, but I'm assuming it's quite good.)

See Part Two of Utopia, Shipwreck. Even better if you can read it through first.

Inherit the Wind is a compelling production. Go see it while you still have a chance.

I'm glad there's a thread on this because I was wondering the same thing. I have heard great things about Coram Boy, but I missed my chance with that one.

Is Moon for the Misbegotten worth seeing? Or are there things you guys would put ahead of it

Frost/Nixon was excellent

[CapnHook]

I saw CORAM BOY and FROST/NIXON and will be seeing JOURNEY'S END and EURYDICE (Second Stage).

CORAM BOY was amazing. Best play I have seen on Broadway in a long while. FROST/NIXON belongs on the silver screen. The staging/writing didn't work for the stage, IMHO.

All of these choices are excellent, but I would like to add one other to the mix "Spaulding Grey, Stories Left to Tell". This was truly wonderful-don't miss this one!!

Liked all of them as well--- still upset "Coram Boy" closed, but moving on....

Didnt see much mention of "Radio Golf"--- Chisholm must be seen !!

Journey's End or Talk Radio
